Santa Ynez Valley Chorale ‘Christmas Bells in the Valley,’ 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 3:30 p.m. Sunday

The Santa Ynez Valley Chorale, featuring its music director Hyejin Jung, will present its Holiday Concert on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 7, at 3:30 p.m. at Santa Ynez Valley High School, 2975 Mission Drive, Solvang. Tickets are $20, available on www.syvchorale.org, through Chorale members, at the Book Loft in Solvang, or at the door. For this season’s program, Jung rediscovered “The Bells of Santa Ynez” by Paul Weston. It is a well-loved work that was inspired during Weston’s first visit here, and it boasts more than 60 years of history in the Santa Ynez Valley. The night all the Church bells rang marked the ninth time that the full musical work with all 14 numbers was performed in Solvang during its traditional Danish Days celebration. It is the inspiration for the program’s “Christmas Bells” concert theme. It’s a special piece with memories shared by several longtime Chorale members; some of whom sang on the recording and performed it live here decades ago.

Something Rotten blends sixteenth-century Shakespearean wit with twenty-first-century Broadway flair in this uproariously entertaining romp. Shows run Wednesday through Sunday through Saturday, Aug. 23, with prices starting at $25. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
